Picture Writing Led to Modern Alphabet * Writing in its earliest development ‘was ldeography or picture writing, It comprised a series of plctures representing first a thing and secondly an idea. In the next stage of progress, most of the lines of a recurring pieture would be left out, until one 'stroke might at last come to represént perhaps a lion or the idea ot hunting. The writing of some of the Ppecples of today is merely a continustion of such picture writing, Aniong other races the picture writing gradually developed into a combination of sounds to form the alphahet, and this type of writing has been set down in all sorts of ways. “Each people developed its own alphabet, Eastern people for the most part writing, as we would say, backwards, i. e, from right to left; or downward; while our own branch of the human race whicl has developed the “cursive” style of writing in which each letter can be joined to -the next without lifting the pen, find writing from left to right the most convenient method,

Toad’s Eggs Hatched : on Back of Mother ~ Among the 80 species of toads known there is one, the water toad of Central Amegica, which presents many curious and interesting features. These toads elhploy a sirange way of hatching their eggs. Most species lay their eggs in the creeks or ponds and leave them there until they are hatched. The pipa of Central America lay theirs in the water the same as the other species, but as soon as they are luid, the father lifts thewn up and literally plants them in the buck of the mother toad. There they remain until they hatch. The skin of the mother toad becomes unusually thick ~and soft at this season of the year. Euach ey occupies a separate round cell chamber, which later, by the pressure of each cell against the other, takes the shape of a honeycomb cell. Eighty-two day® elapse before the hatching of the eggs. They remain in the buck of the mother toad during this entire period. When they begin to hutch, they present a curious sight. :

Long Term of Darkn;::

~ In the Arctic region oh March 21 ‘the sun is just visible on the horizon ‘and appears to circcle about it. From this day onward tlie sun continues to circle around in the sky, each day at a greater elevation until on June 21 an altitude of 23% degices is reachod. After this date the circling is at a lower. elevation and i 8 :7ain on the horizon on September 23; thuis the sun is visible for six months. After Sep‘tember 23 the sun circles below the horizon, gradually descending until .December 22, and then gradually as‘cending until it reappears on March 21; thus there is a period of six months of darkness..

Scientific Bodies

The National Research council was organized in 1916 by the National Academy of Sciences under its constitutional charter. The majority of its membership is composed of accredited representatives of about 75 national. scientific and technical societies. Its essential purpose is to promote funda mental research in the fields of physical and biological sciences. The National Academy of Sciences was founded in 1863 and consists of members elected from among the most distinguished scientific men of the United States.

Earth’s Big Bulge

- As the earth’s crust is by no means rigid it rises and falls under the grav--itational attraction of the moon and 'sun in a manner similar to that of the ocean’s tide. Various difficulties have so far prevented exact measurements. fer il

The pressure exerted on spots of the earth’s crust by the rising tide ot the ocean is another thing that makes it heave and fall. Atlantic tides have caused an observed earth bulge SOO miles away, and it is thought probable that this influence girdles the world.

Mazers and Measles

- Old wooden drinking-bowls, known as mazers, appear to be becoming increasingly popular among wealthy collectors. One of these bowls fetched as much as $50,000, and it is rare to find one in good condition, and with a pedigree at less than $5OO. The words *mazer” and “measles,” by the way, are said to be derived from the same German word “maser,” meaning spot, the spotted portion of maplewood being the favorite material émployed in the:making of these bowls. :

Soﬂg Popular Among . - Rovers of Caribbean ~ The sea-song of the pirates with its weird refrain of “Fifteen men on the dead man’s chest” which Robert Louis Stevenson introduces into his famous book *“Treasure Island” is in part at least authentic and was sung by the pirates and buccaneers who roved the Caribbean sea in the late Saventeenth and early Eighteenth centuries. Dead Man’s Chest was an island of the Virgin group, which has been christened “Dead Chest Island,” thereby losing much of its piratical flavor.. To this Island the pirates used to repair, to careen their ships, strétch their legs drink rum, sing tieir buccaneering songs and make merry after their own fashion, Curiously enough there is a little chiurch on the Chileun coast which ils obviously built of ship’s timbers. Recently a traveler of an inquiring mind, reasoning that if the church were built of ship's timbers, the bell would alse come from a ship, determined to investigate. A e¢limb among the rafters did not reveal the name of the ship, ashe had hoped, but around the edge of the bell were inscribed the words: “IFifteen.men on the dead man’s chest.” Al that the clergyvinan knew was that the charch bell came from a ship that was wrecked in 1722, which was just the time when the West Indies were getting hot for -pirates, and many were being driven into the Pacifie. :

Odd Forms of Prayer | for Parching Fields

Many countries hold odd carenionics to end drought. The Chinese take their dragon god Hl'OUl.ld in a procession, and beat him soundly when he ignores their prayers for rain. 'The Bantus of Delagoa bay sing songs at their dried-up wells and muike mothers who have twins carry the children around the parched fields. {n Greece they send children marching round all the wells and springs, under the lead--ership of a girl adorned with flowers, who sings at each halting place, The ,smnécmnim prevails in Yugzo-Slavia, where a lidle girl called the Dodota is clothca from head to foot in grass and flowers, and leads her compan- . fons through their native village, stop- - ping ai each house, so that the house Wite moy pour a pail of water over ber, and singing the good news that the eain: has cf)me, even though it is usually. far away. ¢ :

“Traveling Stones” “Traveling stones,” from the size of a pea to 6 inches in dianeter, are found in Nevada. When distributed upon a floor or other level surface within 2 or 3 feet of one 'another they immediately began to travel onwurd toward a common center, and there lie huddled like a clutch of ezgs in a nest. L ' v A single stone, removed to = distance of 3% feet, upon being released, at once started with a wondarfui and somewhat comical celerity to join its fellows. . : . These. queer stones are found in a region that is comparatively level and little more than bare rock. Scuttered over this barren region are little basins, rrom a few feet to a rod or two in diameter, and it is &n-the bottom of these that the relling stones are found. ; -

The cause for the strange conduet of these stones is doubtless to be found in the material of which they are composed, which appears to be lodestone or magnetie iron eore. -

Natural Query

. The stroller happened to be present -one evening when a young hopeful of Six years returned home after a hard day’s play and received a quarter left by his grandmother, who had called to see him, but who, fearing the night air, as grandmothers do, nad had to leave before his return. . The boy had heard grewn persons talk about “when the old tady is gone Junior will get, quite-a sum,” and always when she came to see him she had placed "a dime in the chubby spendthrift hand. - - " He stood with the quarter almost covering his palm, ‘then looking up with great mysterious eyes, asked in awed tones: - : : "~ “Is she died?”—Philadelphia Public Ledger. : Work of Volta Bureau - . Volta was a famous French electrician. The Volta prize, created by Napoleon, was conferred by France upom Dr. Alexander Graham Bell for the invention of the telephone. Doctor Bell took this money, 50,000 francs, added to it a large sum received from other electrical experiments, and founded the Volta bureau, “for the ‘increase and diffusion of knowledge relating to the deaf.” This buredau prints and distributes every year hundreds of leaflets containing helpful information for the hard of hearing, or for the parents of deaf children. 5

“Chowder” Really French

Chowders, although considered American, did not originate in America. They are supposed to have been made first by the fisher folk of Brit‘tany. For them, everyone in the village brought their contribution for the dish and added it to the common caldron and the name “chowder” comes from the name of their ealdron, which was chaudiere.” Our early colonists learned this dish from-the French and so chowders are associated with the history of New England and are thus linked with America in general.

B g et e Tl A et 7" Primitive ‘Lighthouse The light in the Pharos of Alexandria was obtained by burning pitchwood. The upper story of the lighthouse had .large openings toward the sea, through which the light shone. Ptolemy Soter began the construction of the Pharos in the Third century B. C. and it was not completed until about 282 B. C. The architect was Sostratus of Cnidus. Each of its four sides Is :said to have measured at the base about 600 feet. e { BT e Pelicans Easily Tamed Pelicans though gencrally wary and difficult of approach, become, when assured of safety, quite fearless; and it is a common sight to see them, in the harbors which they frequent, swim up to the ships to be fed. In certain Egyptian cillages they even follow customers about. in the fish markets and stand expectantly by for food to be given them, . L

For Rivers and Harbors

While an’ appropriation of $30,000 was made in 1802 for the construction of public piers at Philadelphia and one of $22700 in 1822 for & harbor of refuge in Delaware bay, the first approach to a rivers and harbors bill was made in 1826, when about $150,000 was appropriated ‘for carrying on work in about twenty localities.

In Praise of Economy

Economy is the parent of integrity. of liberty, and of ease; and the beauteous sister of temperance, of cheerfulness, and of health; and profuseness is a cruel and crafty demon that gradually involves her followers in dependence and debts; that is, fetters them with “irons that enteér into thelr souls.”—Doctor Johnson. .

Rivers Not Waterways

The Platte river, with its northern fork, which is about 1,250 miles in length, is the longest non-navigable river in the United States and perhaps the longest in the world. The Orange river in South Africa, which is 1,100 miles long, is perhaps the next longest non-navigable river in the world
